Ange Posteoclgou fails to get a tune out of his players again
The draw further exposed Ange Postecoglou’s inability to consistently inspire his Tottenham squad, casting doubt on his suitability to lead Spurs into next season.
Despite taking an early lead, they lacked the cutting edge needed to break down a compact West Ham side.
The Australian’s inability to adapt and deliver results in key moments suggests Spurs need a new manager to achieve their ambitions.
| POS | Premier League table | PLD | PTS | GD |
| 15 | Manchester United | 35 | 39 | -9 |
| 16 | Tottenham Hotspur | 35 | 38 | +6 |
| 17 | West Ham | 35 | 38 | -19 |
Daniel Levy certainly cannot sit through this one and think that this team is heading in the right direction.
Even if they manage to eke out the Europa League trophy, it does not make sense to keep him as the manager next season.
Spence needs to start putting in better performances for Tottenham
Spence’s performance in Tottenham’s 1-1 draw against West Ham was lacklustre, as evidenced by his match statistics, underscoring why he struggled significantly.
Despite playing the full 90 minutes, Spence failed to contribute offensively.
His 20 instances of possession loss and low pass accuracy (33/43, 77%) highlight carelessness in possession, while his single key pass and one accurate cross from two attempts show limited attacking impact [Sofascore].
Defensively, he managed six clearances and one interception, but his single tackle and being dribbled past once reveal vulnerability.
Spence’s ground duels (1/7 won) further indicate physical struggles.
With no successful dribbles and minimal influence, his ineffective display reinforces concerns about his consistency and he’s got to improve his performances.
